1 More than just a market MARKET NEWS 16 th FEBRUARY 2016 Manager s Mutterings A cold start today the temperature at below zero, but the market soon warmed up with a good entry of 464 cattle and that is without Lowesby Farms 80 heifers, which should be with us on the first Tuesday in March and will be advertised fully. Ben is used to the cold start having just returned from a skiing trip in the Alps, and resumed the selling of the store cattle. Prices especially for the reared calves just off the clock with 8/10 month old continental steers from Edward Player, Whatton nudging towards the 1,000 mark. Strong stores still a good trade but not in the same league as the younger stock. Do not forget our catalogued sale 1 st March for store cattle, entries close 25 th February. It was good to be back at the helm in the prime cattle with 137 forward with rows of quality cattle, and a packed ringside ensured a good trade prevailed again, far better than most deadweight outlets. Tom reports a better than expected fat trade with some good hoggs coming off roots to enjoy the trade. Stores still very much in demand so make the most of this trade while it is here. Finally after our recent break in at the Tavern we have beefed up security and have secured Ricky The Hitman Hatton s services during last weekend in Dublin.
